I'm about ready to plumb in my heater, but I was not the one that took it apart. (probably would have forgot anyway) Are there any pics or manuals out there I could look at? Thanks

This 1951 manual is good enough for the plumbing.

If you have the Air Flow (Fresh Air) heater the 1954 controls and heater box are different.

Tim beat me to the answer. Here's a little more info ...

> '51 Air Flow Installation
> '51 Recirculating Installation

'51 is pretty much the same as 54.

The pull knob on the left side of the dash for an Air Flow heater connects to the Recirculation door on the heater in '54. The pull knob connects to the defroster door in '51.

The fan switch is on the left of the Air Flow "Pull to Recirculate" knob in '54, vs on the right of the pull knob in 51.
> '54 fan switch location

Buy a '54 Accessories Installation Manual for any other changes, although, the location of the fan switch is wrong in the '54 Manual.
